Property Description for 224 Clinton Street
Filled with natural light, 224 Clinton Street, in prime Cobble Hill, is a statement of elegance and sophistication. Spanning 25' x 48', this 4,800 SF residence offers an ideal layout with a blend of historic charm and contemporary luxury. Built in 1847, renovated in 2009, it was just updated again in 2024. Currently enjoyed as a magnificent single-family home, it features a triple parlor, 7 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, a garden-level great room with guest quarters, and full storage cellar. Floor-to-ceiling parlor windows, a well-scaped stoop, restored details, French doors opening onto a deck that overlooks a landscaped garden, built in speakers and excellent storage throughout the house offer timeless appeal. An unfinished attic provides opportunity on a hidden fifth floor.
Scale the landscaped stoop to enter a gracious parlor floor with 11-foot Victorian-style tin ceilings and two working wood-burning fireplaces with exquisite marble mantles. Entertain in grand style in a freshly minted kitchen with double-height cabinets, Carrera marble island, countertops, and backsplash. High-end appliances include a Viking stove and hood, Miele dishwasher, and Sub-Zero refrigerator plus wine cooler. Through charming glass doors, the large formal dining room flows to a spacious deck and delightful garden oasis. This seamless integration of indoor and outdoor space makes it ideal for relaxing, as well as al fresco dining and entertaining.
Blanketed with charming Boston Ivy, the rear of the house overlooks a landscaped garden featuring Lace Cap Hydrangeas, Blue Flag Iris, Solomon's Seal, and violets. On the deck railing is Virginia Creeper. Both the front and rear gardens are irrigated and create a peaceful sense of country life in the city year-round.
Ascend a rare barley-twist spindle staircase to the primary level, which houses two serene bedrooms and a windowed office. The primary suite is a sanctuary of comfort, boasting dual walk-in closets, a custom dressing area, and en-suite bathroom with a double marble vanity, steam shower, bidet, and soaking tub. The elegant front bedroom showcases elaborate turn-of-the-century details, including original nail-head parquet floors, hand-carved rosettes around the decorative marble fireplace and beautiful tin ceiling.
Under a central skylight, the top floor is bathed in sunlight which also filters down through the staircase. This floor features three bedrooms, one with a delightful sitting area through original glass pocket doors, and another with vintage tin ceilings and exposed painted brick walls, plus a smaller cozy third bedroom. A bright laundry room with another skylight and full bathroom with double sinks, marble vanity and an oversized soaking tub finish this level. A walk-in hall closet provides access to the hidden fifth-floor attic (with pitched roof) which offers potential for dramatic top floor ceilings and maybe additional living space.
The ease and warmth of the garden level flows seamlessly from the parlor floor. As a legal 2 family home, this floor can be sectioned off to create a separate 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom high income producing apartment or be used for friends & family. Currently used as an extension to the owner's triplex, this floor contains a sprawling living room with a large projection surround sound screen for watching sports and movies, a dining area, modern kitchen with a 10' black honed granite island, bedroom, bathroom and garden access. Ample closets and an extra-large mudroom provide space for seasonal clothing and stroller ease. A walk-in closet leads to a full cellar.
Parking for rent or sale available one block away at The Parking Club.
This prime location offers FIOS and easy access to Court St., Atlantic Ave., and Smith St., featuring fine dining, artisanal grocery stores, Trader Joe's, Sahadi's, Dellapietras, Barnes and Noble, designer boutiques, multiple parking garages, and every subway line at Borough Hall.

Cobble Hill | Brooklyn
Quick Profile
The neighborhood now known as Cobble Hill was originally settled by Dutch farmers in the mid-1600s. Tucked along the East River, in the heart of Brooklyn, Cobble Hill is known for its welcoming, leafy streets, independent mom-and-pop shops, and 19th century brownstones.
Most of Cobble Hill lies within an historic landmark district, and building heights are restricted to 50 feet, which helps maintain its 19th century atmosphere. Building owners will often split the use of their four- or five-story buildings, occupying several of the top floors and renting out the ground floor as apartments or, conversely, occupying one or more of the lower floors and renting out the top floors. New construction and alterations to existing buildings in the historic district require approval by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission, which helps maintain the historic character of the Cobble Hill neighborhood.
Although most housing in Cobble Hill consists of traditional brownstones and brick townhouses,, you will also find churches that have been converted to condos, carriage houses that have become luxury apartments and Victorian school houses that have been converted into lofts.
Court Street and Atlantic Avenue are the main commercial streets in the neighborhood. You will find popular Middle Eastern restaurants on Atlantic Avenue. Court Street is home to casual restaurants, many with outdoor seating, relaxed cafes and hip bars.
Many young professionals and families live in the brownstones, townhouses, and single-family homes that line the leafy streets. Cobble Hill is a great place to live if you work on Wall Street, as you can walk over the Brooklyn Bridge to work.
